The Speed Paradox: The Misalignment Between Driver Attitudes and Speeding Behaviour (2005, methodology): “SLT has been applied to a range of deviant behaviours (e.g. computer crime, substance abuse) with good predictive success (Akers & Jensen, 2003), yet there has been limited application to road safety.”
The Effects of Neighbourhood Poverty on Adolescent Problem Behaviours: A Multi-level Analysis Differentiated by Gender and Ethnicity (2007, result): “This dramatic difference in ICCs seems to lend strong support to differential association and learning theories that stress the role of delinquent peers for the transmission of delinquent behaviour (Akers & Jensen, 2003).”
